At the recent Six Nations Rugby, each nation sang their own introductory song, relating to their country. England sang 'God Save The Queen'.

Question:
Should English sports teams have their own distinct song apart from 'God Save The Queen'?

Choices:
Yes.
No.
Couldnt care less

 


Dont worry. Be happy.

Yes. How about.......


"Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree
Aga-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee
To the left, to the right, jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night, sing with a hula melody".

I wonder what those who voted yes would like as our anthem. I think Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem.

Stick with God Saves the Queen i say. After all it IS the national anthem, and at the olympics, what else would you want playing for goodness sake?!!
Other countries seem proud of their anthem and we should be too.

God Save the Queen is OK when we're competing as Great Britain as it's the British anthem. However, it's not the ENGLISH anthem and we should follow the other British nations' example and use a different anthem when competing as England.

I expected to see a thread about the Eurosong contest for some reason! Big Grin

We've got Andy Abrahams this year with an insipid dirge that is sure to get us nul points again. Waste of time and money.

God save the Queen is the British anthem not the English Anthem.
